Walking through spaces where ...THIS GREAT PLACE...<br /><br />Walking through spaces where walls used to be <br />I transcend time finding myself <br />in this great gathering place of time long ago.<br /><br />Children see me first and a little girl <br />takes me to her grandmother...<br />Grandmother says she knows me, <br />that I have floated in on the wind.<br /><br />I am invited to listen to tricksters tales,<br />to laugh, to feast, to dance, and to <br />pray great prayers lifted on smoke and <br />carried to the Great Watchman above. <br /><br />When I come again to this great place<br />looking empty and broken, <br />it will once again come alive <br />as I remember the little girl <br />and the grandmother who welcomed me <br />as I floated in on the wind.<br /><br />~Robin EdenshawAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
